Extreme lag with Chromecast

Jump to Best Response

I am experiencing a very strage problem: when I connect my Chromecast (the one I got with premiere edition) through HDMI to a 27" Monitor, I get extreme lagging while playing (I mean up to 5 seconds between button press on my stadia controller and the corresponding action on screen). This happens most of the times (say at lest 3 out of 4) and both with wifi (very close to the router) or ethernet.

I tried with another monitor (just once, it may have been luck) and it worked ok, and also I never had any problem with chrome on my PC (always using the stadia controller). I even tried on my Android phone and it worked great (although Cyberpunk 2077 is unplayable on a small screen).

I have no idea what's going on, is there something I can try to sort this out? I am not sure whether it is a delay in the streaming or in the submission of commands by the pad, how can I tell?

Thanks in advance for any help provided, this is one of the reason I haven't subscribed Stadia Pro, since I planned to use 4K on the chromecast.

I don't know if you can have any kind of log, you can try contacting the support  here https://support.google.com/stadia/ but if you want to try some other game you can always try Destiny 2 or Bomberman R that are free to play on Stadia

You should check if your monitor have a "game" mode this can impact on performance

Thanks I have already tried all possible settings regarding "game mode" and nothing helped; also I think that would make a difference of a few milliseconds, not several seconds like it's my case (I can literally count to five while waiting for the input to have an effect on screen). Please also note that the same monitor, with the same settings, never had a single issue using the PC instead of the Chromecast

Controller and CCU are on the same network? I had an issue where the 5ghz and 2.4ghz had the same name, and the controller swapped back and forth between the two resulting in some severe lag. I fixed it by give the two wireless network a different name and using the 5ghz

yes everything is on the 5Ghz network and the 2.4 one has a different name and password so the switch by mistake is not possible

The weird thing on your issue is that you say that with another monitor it works fine, so it seems somehow a monitor issue (maybe the HDMI port not fine for the CCU?) but just one last question, are you using the power adapter provided by the CCU or you are picking the power from an USB port on the monitor?

I am using the included power adapter (which as far as I know is the only way of using ethernet on the CCU); I actually said that it once worked on another monitor (I only tried once), which is in line with the fact that sometimes (rarely) it works on the 27" as well... 

It's really weird, I can't find a single device which is surely not working, since the only combination I have experienced the problem with is CCU + 27". Everything else works fine, always. Maybe next weekend I will have a second go at CCU on the secondary monitor, to check if the problem is also there.

Also note that I am only using Cyberpunk 2077, since is the only game I own on Stadia.

 

Is there a way I can get some kind of log of what is happening? The should definitely be some trace of this huge malfunctioning...
